Homework answers / question archive / Has the entertainment industry been effective in self-regulating? Some claim that the movie and television industries have moved toward a model in which violence is allowed virtually unfettered in movies and television, while sex, nudity, and sexuality are heavily controlled and limited (actually a far different approach than that taken in many other countries)
Has the entertainment industry been effective in self-regulating? Some claim that the movie and television industries have moved toward a model in which violence is allowed virtually unfettered in movies and television, while sex, nudity, and sexuality are heavily controlled and limited (actually a far different approach than that taken in many other countries). Hasn't this stance come under criticism?
The answer to this particular can be both Yes and No. It all depends upon the normalization of things that go around us. The entertainment industry has been effective in self-regulating in curbing racism, promotion of LGBT rights, raising voices for women's rights, and other societal issues because these issues are important for society and should not be normalized. Thus, one can say that the entertainment industry has been effective in self-regulating in this case.
However, on the other hand, the entertainment industry has not been effective in controlling violence in the movies. With the advent of OTT platforms, sex, nudity, and sexuality in web-series have become uncontrolled (though they were previously heavily controlled by the censor board in many countries). Sex, nudity, and sexuality in movies have become a new normal and thus they are allowed unfettered in movies and television. Thus, this stance of the entertainment industry has come under criticism.
